Was born on August 12th, 2008 at 8:10 a.m. She weighed 7 pounds and 1 ounce and was 19.5 inches long. She is now 2 weeks old and has gained weight. This is Emily before her bath last week. This is pretty much all you are going to get for a post, people. I’m pretty…

Read moreOne day to go. I thought I had better post pictures of the nursery before I go tomorrow! We have been so blessed.
